instructions include:
 Start with the vent tapping size, and as soon as is
practical increase the pipe size one diameter.
 For every ten feet of pipe run, increase the pipe size one
diameter.
 Protect the termination from water, dust and insects.
Install Condensate Drain
A condensate drain kit is intended for use with the Fulton
Vantage boiler. The Condensate Drain is Fulton Model Part
Number 4-57-000440.
Adhere to the following for installation:
1. The 1 inch (25.4 mm) condensate drain will be
connected to the 1 inch (25.4 mm) inlet on the drain
kit. One or more drain lines may be connected to this
inlet (max of 12 MM BTU per drain).
2. If the water supply must be temporarily disconnected,
the boilers must be turned off to prevent accidental fl ue
gas emission into the boiler room.
3. The condensate drain cover must be kept on at all
times, except during maintenance of the drain. This
drain should be checked regularly in your boiler
maintenance schedule.
4. A condensate collecting tank and condensate pump
will be required if a fl oor drain is not available to collect
condensate (collecting tank and pump are not supplied
with the boiler).
5. All piping (Figure 5) must be galvanized, or stainless
steel and should be free of leaks. Copper, carbon steel/
iron pipe, PVC or CPVC are not acceptable.
6. Connect 1 inch (25.4 mm) condensate drain(s) (at the
rear of the boiler), to the 1 inch (25.4 mm) inlet at the
base of the drain tank. The bottom of the drain kit must
be a minimum of 5.5 inch (14.2 cm) lower than the
bottom of the boiler when connected in a manifold as
shown in Figure 5, the manifold must be 5.5 inch (14.2
cm) below the condensate outlet and must remain
fl ooded.
7. Connect the 1.5 inch (38.1 mm) drain outlet to an
appropriate waste line following applicable codes. The
1.5 inch (38.1 mm) drain connection on the drain tank
must be the highest point prior to going to the drain.
Failure to keep drain piping lower than this point will
result in overfl ow of the drain tank. Slope the drain pipe
away at a minimum pitch of 1 inch (25.4 mm) for every
